The following was pulled off another blog
It sums up my lack of posting:
Spend time with a nervous, anxious person and physiological monitoring would most likely show you mimicking the anxiety and nervousness, in ways that affect your brain and body in a concrete, measurable way. Find yourself in a room full of pissed off people and feel the smile slide right off your face. Listen to people complaining endlessly about work, and you'll find yourself starting to do the same. How many of us have been horrified to suddenly realize that we've spent the last half-hour caught up in a gossip session--despite our strong aversion to gossip? The behavior of others we're around is nearly irresistible.
Anger and resentment are thet most contagious of emotions," according to Stonsy. "If you are near a resentful or angry person, you are more prone to become resentful or angry yourself
Can any of us honestly say we haven't experienced emotional contagion? Even if we ourselves haven't felt our energy drain from being around a perpetually negative person, we've watched it happen to someone we care about. We've noticed a change in ourselves or our loved ones based on who we/they spend time with. We've all known at least one person who really did seem able to "light up the room with their smile," or another who could "kill the mood" without saying a word. We've all found ourselves drawn to some people and not others, based on how we felt around them, in ways we weren't able to articulate.
It's all about negative energy.
I've taken a break and I have to extend it. I am running....Anger makes you run fast 8.27 avg splits. Hurtfulness makes you lose weight....135 now. I'm happy about the former and worried about the latter. I don't want to lose muscle tone. I think the weight loss is finished though. I have drama that I have to deal with. Nothing with my family. Just really, dumb, stupid shit. It's so stupid that I can't understand how I let this negative , back stabbing crap affect me. I'm a good person. I'll be back when I get the drama under control. On a positve note, I have a race scheduled for May sometime.
